Get started at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_colors/Relative_colors; also see the color function pages to find out what relative colors look like in each.

found myself flicking through some old paper copies of ".net magazine" (around 2010ish). good lord, what a time capsule of early fun web stuff, with lots of the usual suspects of the time (very young looking versions of @brucelawson, @chrisdavidmills, @alastc, @tink, @colly, @lornajane, @malarkey, and many more). that was back when, for a while, I was on the "advisory panel" for the mag (and occasionally contributed to accessibility and html5 related topics) ...

I love metal heads, when I mention metal people go crazy because you have to give it up.

You never see a guy with his shirt off screaming, "R&B!"

Metal heads are different from any other fan of music. We have like our own symbol that means metal. You just do that to another metal and he's just like "Indeed."
